The Challenge

Forest fires cases have been increasing over the past years due to human involvement (deforestation) and climate change. Extinguishing such massive flames in the forest is not without challenges. Firefighters must go through difficult terrain to reach the fire spots, which takes quite a bit of time. Moreover, Forest fires are often noticed a few hours after it occurs, which makes the fires immense and difficult to eradicate. Therefore, this issue should be addressed to prevent fires from expanding and to save thousands of wild animals and people.

The Solution

we want to create drones that are integrated with a navigational system to find locations where forest fires occur. Geographical Information System (GIS) will be used to display a map and will indicate in which area forest fires occur. Then, software on drones will create navigation to the fire source. So, it will take less time to find and extinguish the fire source.
